Territory / 3DAV
Sound. Light.
Motion.
One instrument.
3DAV is the point where audiovisual technology stops being a collection of devices and becomes a performance language.
Start with a controller, a screen and a response. Expand from there into synchronised visuals, lighting, projection mapping and entire responsive environments.

Six parts of the instrumentModular by design.
01
Sound
The invisible architecture.
02
Visuals
Image becomes performance.
03
Lighting
Atmosphere shaped in real time.
04
Projection
Space becomes a canvas.
05
Synchronisation
One gesture. Multiple systems.
06
Immersion
The room becomes the instrument.
The central idea
One gesture.
Many responses.
A fader, pad, beat, cue or movement can become more than an audio event. 3DAV explores how one performance action can drive coordinated changes across sound, image, light and space.

What changes
ExpressionTechnology responds to the performer instead of distracting from them.
ScaleThe same logic can run a screen or an entire mapped room.
EfficiencyComplex-looking experiences can be operated by one person.
ImmersionAudience and environment become part of the performance.
Minimum viable 3DAV
Start ridiculously simple.
A DJ controller. A laptop. Resolume or equivalent. One visual output to a television or projector. Make one control affect something visible. That's already the instrument. Everything after that is expansion, not reinvention.
